Need To Source Parts By This Weekend

[AzzurrA]

Hi All,

I'm supposed to be driving to Hervey Bay this Saturday, so i just put my car in for a wheel alignment, only to find out that the rear rack ends and rear tie rod ends are farked.

any idea where i can source some of these from, urgently?

falcrum at coopers plains.

they = useless

"errr.... um.... no, we wouldn't have anything like that, and i don't know where you would find any, bye"

standard "mercury" response

also, justjap wreckers at slacks creek might be able to help you there

might have a hit at importbitz at virginia... they have 2 hicas racks sitting there apparently, with the tie rod ends and rack ends still on them....

am going down there in the morning to have a look to see if a) they are from a '32 (as they're different to 33 and 34 i'm led to believe) and b) that they're in use-able condition (i soooo hope they are, or i'll cry)

Try TSR Aranda St underwood just up near motorama holden.

Fulcrum down here replaced all mine with new items a year ago?

Near Harbourtown.. bit of a hike..

[AzzurrA]

have tried fulcrum... twice... the first place advised that they have the rack ends in stock - apparently they're "The same as a pulsar" (WTF?) but the tie rod ends would only be available genuine Nissan, and Nissan had NFI what they were talking about as they couldn't understand the diagram on their system.

Then tried Fulcrum Moorooka who told me they had no idea what i was talking about.

Isn't all the rear suspension on 32's the same as S13's?

If so, you could check on NS and see if some "hardcore drifter" had some lying around.

fulcrum suspension at capalaba is the best i've delt with, PM me and i'll see if I can pull some strings at work, can at least get fulcrum's part numbers.

I also have a contact at nissan, PM me and i'll give you the details, he won't bullsh*t you around like most!

Just let me know exactly wat ur after and your car details etc...

ok, i've managed to get a set of rack ends ordered... should be here this afternoon, but still unable to find tie rod ends (the actual balljoint/bearing between the tie rod and the steering arm)

[AzzurrA]

Tie Rod Ends/Balljoints FOUND!

WOOHOO!

*dances*

Many thanks to Glenn @ Jap Only Auto Parts, Underwood, for all his help!

[AzzurrA]

major setback

after picking the parts up yesterday morning and dropping the car off at the workshop around 10am, i was told that it should be ready by around 3pm yesterday afternoon....

i get a call at 3pm saying that they've spent the last 2 hours looking at the car, and they can't figure out how to change the tie rod end balljoints without pulling the whole rear end apart as the old ones have to be pressed out and new ones pressed in.... they're estimating it will be ready by early next week now

Try city suspension at slacks creek they are highly experanced with imports, if city cant do it it cant be done

[AzzurrA]

it's already in a workshop half pulled apart, but thanks for that anyway
